A group of female hurricane survivors were told to show their breasts if they wanted to be rescued, a British holidaymaker has revealed.Ged Scott watched as American rescuers turned their boat around and sped off when the the women refused.

The account was just another example of the horror stories emerging from the hurricane disaster zone.

Mr Scott, 36, of Liverpool, was with his wife and seven-year-old daughter in the Ramada Hotel when the flood waters started rising.

"At one point, there were a load of girls on the roof of the hotel saying 'Can you help us?' and the policemen said 'Show us what you've got' and made signs for them to lift their T-shirts," he told the Liverpool Evening Echo.

"When the girls refused, they said `Fine' and motored off down the road in their boat."

At one point he had to wade through filthy water to barricade the hotel doors against looters.

He said the experience made him want to vomit.

Mr Scott also slated the rescue operation, saying police were more interested in taking snapshots of the devastation rather than rescuing the victims.

"I could not have a lower opinion of the authorities, from the police officers on the street right up to George Bush," he said.

"I couldn't describe how bad the authorities were. Just little things like taking photographs of us, as we are standing on the roof waving for help, for their own little snapshot albums"

He added: "The American people saved us. I wish I could say the same for the American authorities."

Mike Brocken, of Chester, said he feared his wife Christine and 18-year-old daughter Stephanie would be raped when they went into the Louisiana Superdome.

The family were also racially abused by other refugees in the stadium.

Mr Brocken, a BBC Radio Merseyside presenter and music lecturer, told the station: "We were going to go inside the Superdome.

"I approached two members of the National Guard and they said to stay outside because they knew it was hell in there.

"One female office basically said under no circumstances take the women in there, because she knew what it was like.

"We were so frightened and we stayed alongside the National Guard for some kind of protection.

"It was at that stage that they started to take us under their wing and eventually managed to get us into the basketball stadium."

He added: "Everyone talks about the National Guard in rather derogatory ways historically, but I've got to say that, but for them, and one man in particular, I may well have lost my family."

Holy cow, did you guys hear tha lame excuses that female cop was handing out as to why she was looting? I've never seen a more obvious lie in my life. Except for Bill Clinton said he smoked but didn't inhale.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

May I defend the underdog...i would'nt call that looting. They were shopping with permission.

The city is effectively uninhabitable, N.O residents have been traumatised. I'd be helping myself too. No one from Walmart will be collecting there goods any time soon.

As someone who has worked with people at their worst as a "bouncer" and Emergency Depatment Nurse, I will tell you that after 6 days of N.O I would be doing some shopping myself. "Excuse me, which way to the Plasma T.V section?"

As a side note...did you notice that really, it was the sick and elderly who have died. The "useless eaters". They cant work and they cant fight. But they die easily when chaos hits.

I saw that poor family made up of kids being picked up by the BBC in a boat. Their mother was filmed on the bed dead because she required oxygen. They were in shock. Terrible. They waited for help. When push comes to shove dont expect help. Start preparing now to look after yourself.
